On July 20, 2014, we will celebrate 5½ years since we registered our
domain name. From the beginning, we envisioned
Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com as a
clearinghouse of how professional truck drivers from around the world
save
money -- in order to
help each
other save money.

If every trucker contributed just
one money
saving tip or review
on our site, imagine how the
entire worldwide trucking community could
benefit!

Our Truckers'
Savings Blog page currently lists only the last 25 updates to
our XML
news feed. After a few days, what if there was an article you
wanted to go back to? Not even our Twitter feed can help because old
news cycles off as more recent news cycles on. But by subscribing
to receive by email a list of
the blog posts we make each day, you'll
always be "in the know."

Are you as a
trucker aware of federal, state and local laws regarding yielding to
bicyclists?

Quote from article:

-----

In another blog post, bike attorney Michael Keating (also a Streetsblog
sponsor) said the federal, state, and city legislation makes it clear
that it’s a truck driver’s responsibility to prevent this type of crash
from happening:

49 C.F.R. Section 383.111 of the Code of Federal
Regulations requires a professional driver to recognize and avoid
potential hazards at all times around a turning tractor truck.

Section
11-1003.1 of the Illinois Motor Vehicle Code states that every driver
of a vehicle must 1) always exercise care to avoid colliding with
pedestrians and bicyclists, and 2) sound their horn to provide warning
of an impending impact.

Section 9-16-020 of the Municipal Code of
Chicago
specifically provides that a motor vehicle should not turn
right across the path of a bicyclist traveling in the same direction
until it is “clear” and safe to make the turn. This is known as a
“right hook.”

Social Networking

Our 5th anniversary video
describes the "why" of our site, which is summarized in our new slogan:
"Because truckers know that no trucker deserves to be stung
financially".

Already, "back to school" sales are in progress.
It won't be long before the summer is over and school buses are back on
the
road (at least in the USA). Be careful as you travel around those
clearly going on vacation.

If you know of news that helps truckers save money -- or
requires
truckers to spend more money -- would you please let us know? We're
only a tweet
or Facebook
post away. Thanks.

To all of our readers who are professional truck
drivers, we wish you safe travels and lots of money saving
opportunities
on the road!
